Do you make Halloween costumes or buy from the store?

It can be hard to find the time (and talent) to make costumes from scratch, but as TODAY producer Amanda Marshall reminds us in her latest blog post, a mom who makes her own costumes can also create lasting memories.

They usually end up being a combo of store bought pieces with homemade touches.

I enjoy making the kids costumes but, this year I'm not sure if time is on my side. K-Mart is advertising 40% off this week.

    Felt and glue guns work great. Making them is so much fun, and the kids feel a sense of pride, too!

      The characters my children want to be are not on the shelf. My 3yrs old DD wants to be Beyonce and my 10yrs DD wants to be Raven-Samone.
